So when you kick a soccer ball multiple things happen.

First of all, your leg is putting


kinetic energy into the ball. Here the kinetic energy is when they kick the ball and it goes
in the air. The potential energy is when the ball is sitting on the ground. Another thing
that happens when you kick the ball is that the ball deforms. The side of the ball that
your foot strikes becomes flat for just over 0.01 seconds. The energy coming out is the
kinetic energy of the ball plus some heat. The more the ball deforms the more energy is
lost to heat. So the sport, soccer, uses kinetic energy and potential energy.
